Synthetic Ponceau SX Colour

Synthetic Ponceau SX also known as also known as Food Red 7, is a brilliant red azo dye that is widely used in the food, pharmaceutical, and even cosmetics industries. This colour exhibits a bright, eye-catching red hue with a slightly bluish undertone, making it ideal for enhancing the visual appeal of products. Synthetic Ponceau SX is available in powder, liquid, and granular forms. Its efficiencies are appreciated by manufacturers for its high tinctorial strength and excellent stability in acidic environments, along with synthetic ponceau SX being effortlessly incorporated into formulations. Its consistency and vibrancy, alongside compatibility with various ingredients, propel ponceau SX to be a preferred choice among industrial users.

Synthetic Ponceau SX, chemically known as E125 or C.I. 14720, belongs to the family of azo dyes. It was developed in the early 20th century during the rise of synthetic dyes in food processing. Its composition includes aromatic azo compounds synthesized through diazotization and coupling reactions, a technique pioneered in modern dye chemistry.

Commercial use of Ponceau SX began in the mid-1900s, especially in Europe and parts of Asia, where it was added to confections, beverages, and medicinal syrups. Its demand spread at a rapid pace due to its appealing red tone and reliable performance in processed foods. During the 1960s, the red dye was embraced by most manufacturers throughout the decade in health supplements and baked goods as its cost-effectiveness, over natural alternatives, was valued.

Around the globe, synthetic ponceau SX is largely used within food industries due to its intense coloring capabilities. It serves the purpose of enhancing the visual appeal within confectionery (such as candies, jellies, and gummies) and bakery items (icings, decorations, and cake toppings) alongside powdered drink mixes for beverages and carbonated drinks, and syrups. In the cosmetics industry, this colourant is used to give a vibrant and fun touch to lipsticks, foundations, blushers, makeup fixers, and in some personal care products. In the pharmaceutical industry, synthetic Ponceau SX is found in tablets, capsules, and cough syrups. This colour helps in the identification of medicines that reduce the chances of taking the wrong medicines. Synthetic Ponceau SX is also used in the pet food manufacturing industry to improve the feed shelf life and enhance visual appeal.

Using low-quality synthetic food colours, including Ponceau SX, leads to various issues, especially at the commercial level, where the colour's appearance on the product plays a crucial role. Low-quality colours cause inconsistent colouring due to poor stability. These inferior quality colours often contain impurities and do not fulfill all the regulatory standards set by the governmental body, which results in product damage to brand image in the market, product recall, and even product ban. At the commercial level, manufacturers should use high-quality, certified synthetic colours in their products that help them to stand out in the competitive market and increase sales.

Synthetic Ponceau SX is approved and widely used in several countries worldwide, including parts of the European Union and Asia, under strict regulatory guidelines. Key regulatory bodies that checks the quality and safety of synthetic Ponceau SX in products are EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) in the European Union, FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India) in India, National Health Commission (NHC) in China, and GCC Standardization Organization (GSO) in Gulf countries. These governmental bodies carry out factory inspections, sample testing, and enforcement actions on a scheduled basis to check the quality of colours in products.
